Be a Blessing #abcblogging

It is interesting how these topics work. I pray about it and I ask family and friends. Then I write about whatever 'feels' right in the end. This one feels a lot like it builds on last weeks word which was available.

Be a Blessing. This is something I strive to do! I want to be helpful, encouraging, available.What ways can you easily be a blessing?

Make a meal

Send an encouraging text

watch a friend's kid

pass on your kid's outgrown clothing or toys

smile at a stranger

write a note to a sick relative or friend

print a nice picture you took and give it to the person featured

slip a college kid some cash

drop off flowers to a widow

pay for someones coffee in the drive thru

pray faithfully for a friends need

What does the Bible say on this subject?

In Matthew 5:16:

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

So according to this verse that in well doing you are showing God to your friends and family. How awesome is that?

I also think of 1 Corinthians 13 - this whole chapter is one I have memorized and it is about love... (it is often translated out of KJV to say Love... but can mean good will, love, benevolence...)

verse 13:

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

So as you can see according to 1 Corinthians 13:13 charity (love) is something we should be doing in our life. I hope I've given you some simple ideas to be a blessing with family, friends, your church and community.

I'm Going to Heaven Can't Wait!

I want to ask you the question... If you died today do you know where you would end up? Would it be in Heaven or Hell? Do you have a reason for that? Is it because you are a good person? Because you help others? Do you have a Bible reason for going to Heaven? The bible says there is one way for you to get to Heaven and that is through Jesus.
I encourage you to Ask Jesus to save Your soul today. I did many years ago and I couldn't be happier with the peace and love from God I feel everyday.
